Hmm - I may have a mistake here.

Boot time CPUID handling is giant mess, and I haven't had time to finish
my work to make BSP microcode loading dependent on xmalloc(), allowing
it to move far earlier, and removing the early/late CPUID split.

However, init_speculative_mitigations() is called after late CPUID
setup, so e8b should be suitably collected.  Let me try to figure out
what's going on.

For print_details(), I have a feeling that may have been an artefact of
an early version of the logic, and likely can be cleaned up.
